#WritersCoffeeClub 4/21: "What's a hill you're willing to defend?"
Generational Artificial Intelligence is not needed for making human art, nor is it intelligent. It's just plagiarism software that spits out literal facsimiles of actual human art. And it's stealing from real people who have real talent and giving no-talent hacks a false sense of ownership or skill, of which they have neither. Learning IS the whole reason to make art.

@Em0nM4stodon same, I really feel the approximate peak of modern technology in it's utility, ease of use, valued cost & lack of privacy invasions, was reached around 2000-2005 ACE. By then we had solid speech/talk to text software & hardware. Mobile phones, including smartphones were durable & had cameras or not depending on your preference. Similarly phones had GPS, & satellite or not. Screen readers were likewise fully developed.
Not everyone needs everything a piece of advanced technology & that's why I would love to see a renewed separation of different devices. Cheap mapping/direction GPS systems, separate from phones, separate from PDAs, separate from cameras.
Speed of doing every tech related task hasn't really changed for most people & if anything it's probably slower due to infrastructure decay.
*As I'm unfortunately continuing to consider which smartphone I should get over the next year & same for my spouse, it really hits me hard how it'd be better for us both if we could just get PDAs, his with a touchscreen & me with a physical keyboard that were 5g enabled. We don't make phone calls, nor answer them on the go & thusly don't need a mobile phone at all.

Thats great! 416 experienced qualitative researchers from 38 countries reject the use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) applications for Big Q Qualitative approaches, such as reflexive thematic analysis, or various phenomenological approaches.
They describe three primary reasons for the rejection:
1. GenAI as simulated intelligence is incapable of meaning making
2. Qualitative research should remain a distinctly human practice
3. The established manifold harms of GenAI, especially to the environment and workers in the Global South"[...] the algorithmic patterns upon which GenAI operates predisposes GenAI to identify, replicate and reinforce dominant language and patterns; risking the further quieting of marginal voices and practices, including those of critical scholars. The voices and practices of people who live/breathe/feel/imagine/construct knowledge in the maroons of life – along with their stunning/quirky/complex/unpredictable ways – may be lost or worse; sacrificed."

I should also say, no Generative AI, only human artists! #NoAI #NoGenAI #HumanArtists
